Francesco Padovan is member #104 of Silicon Valley Study Tour. Nov. 14, 2007

Name of your Company/ University/ Magazine:: Universita degli Studi di Pavia
NOW University of San Francisco

About me:: Ciao a tutti! I'm a student at SF State looking for an Internship.
(Interest area:robotics, renewable energy, automation.)
I come from Pavia, where I'm enrolled in the last year of the course "Electrical Engineering".
I arrived in SF during August, ready to attend a semester abroad.
Few moths ago I received a scholarship, awarded by Universita' di Pavia
I took 14 units, and believe me, they are a lot! I mean, the time which you need to accomplish all the homeworks, reports, labs and other several activities carried me to spend most of the time at the campus.
I should go back to Italy on the 21st of January, but I'm looking for an intership to spend here some more time and learn more and more!
Work experiences?I had a lot of them during the previous summers, thanks to Adecco.
They allowed me to earn some precious money which I could spend for myself and my studies.
I was developing my first thesis at ABB, where I focused my topic on Partial Discharges and Store Flux Optimisation.

I looked on your profile and I think that it's very interesting. I would like to ask you for advice. But at first let me introduce myself. Currently I'm finishing Master in Sociology of Economy and Market Research/Marketing in Milan at Università Cattolica and I want to write thesis with researches about viral marketing and viral loops as trends in global marketing. I think that above all US and particularly Silicon Valley, where this phenomenon was born, is the right place.
This summer I'm going with Paolo Marenco to Silicon Valley for Study Tour so it can be large chance for me to familiarize myself with the topic. But to do researches I'm looking for thesis internship or stage. Unfortunately my university doesn't have that kind of programs, so I must find the place alone.
If you have any information about companies, research centers or university labs working in the field of market/economy and computer sciences (for ex. interdisciplinary labs but of course not only) or supporting students for thesis internships in this fields please let me know.
GRAZIE!
A presto!

Instead of replying back to you, I let a message on MY comment wall! You can still read my original message on my comment wall. Or, if you prefer, here it comes again:

That's bad... I'm leaving on Tuesday (back to Italy), and on Monday I have to prepare my baggages. I'm sorry, I think we will maybe see in Italy, or in the US in an undefined future. Take care! Damiano

Hope you're fine and having a great time in San Fran! Ciao, Damiano

unfortunately I am not gonna be of any help here.
The company I work for has definitely openings for internships but the main HQs are located in Rhode Island and Missouri, in NoCal there are only a few Apps engineer and sales force.
I honestly do not know what the process to start an internship would be, probably contacting big Names (Google, Microsoft, Apple and so on) may help.
I came here without even planning on it..
I wish you best of luck, sorry I couldn't be of much help.
Luca
